Uki — float fishing
ウキ釣り
A float shows bites while suspending the bait at a chosen depth. Adjusting the float stop changes the feeding layer.
Tackle and preparation
Float, appropriate shot, leader and hook; choose a manageable rod and observe local bait rules.
On the water
- Set a starting depth.
- Let the bait drift without excessive slack.
- Strike in response to a clear movement and reassess depth if bait is repeatedly untouched.
